Crossbreed Super Tuck Question

This is a discussion on Crossbreed Super Tuck Question within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Hi,
I have been going back and forth about getting a holster for CC. I am currently using a belly band and it works pretty ...

Very Happy

I have had mine for 3 weeks and have no complaints (recieved it within 2 weeks from order). I have changed hook positions and the hooks, just to try out the versatility. I would like to add a gun belt next. Before this I only carried OWB and am pumped I can finally tuck in my shirt.

IMO, yes. But if you don't, and decide you should have, it is not difficult to do the cut yourself.

My point on the cut is this: The majority of serious holster makers wouldn't think of selling a holster that you couldn't begin with a full firing combat grip immediately upon beginning the draw. It is considered prerequisite by most. That said, Mark of Cross Breed has pointed out to me that he has a large number of customers, including professional gun carriers of all types, who are quite happy with the holster the way it was originally conceived (without the cut). I will say this, you have a higher likelihood of physical comfort without the cut (it is acceptably comfortable either way IMO, but perhaps more so without the cut).

I bought mine before the cut was offered (first I heard of it being offered in fact was a response from Mark to a post I made on another Forum, complaining about the lack of a proper firing grip).

I had mine sitting in a drawer for years, mostly unworn. Mark had back then offered to cut it for free to those of us who felt we needed it, but I never sent it back (partly due to some new 1911's, and this was for a Glock I was not carrying so much anymore).

I finally did my own cut a couple of months back. And I am finally getting some utility out of the holster! (Carrying my Glock 19 in it as I type).

From everything I have heard, Cross Breed customer service is as good as it gets. Their holster line is hugely popular on every internet handgun forum I've ever read, being the second most recommended holster I have seen (just barely behind the Milt Sparks VM2). I'd say with several successful years under his belt, his innovative design has proven itself many times over.

I had the same concern as you when looking at the leather patch. It does seem a little large, almost like you would feel the edges of it when being worn. But, becuase of their warranty, i decided that I may as well order it and see. I could not be any happier!! As stated above, the leather litterally conforms to your curve(whether its your outer hip, or those few dozen donuts hanging around just over your strongside buttcheek), in efect it does everything to spread the weight and bulk of your concealment over a larger area. In my case, I carry a commander 1911, now thats a heavier piece loaded and all, but it just spreads out and blends in!! I actually find that I don't need that good of a belt with it, the rig is so well supported, that it holds up fine with my 5+ year old belt.

And... mine was at my door 3 days after ordering. Really the only downside is that once you try it, you'll have to get one for every gun you own.

I have one for my LCP with laser and it is really comfortable and out of the way. I figured since this one works so good, I will be ordering one for my XD sub9. I have read a lot of posts where people have drawres full of holsters that dont work. You get 2 weeks to try it out, so you cant really lose, plus an excellent warranty if something should break.

By the way, the tipping point for me getting this rig for my XD is the fact that everyone had nice things to say about Crossbreed holsters.

I also saw previous post where Mark stuck up for his mom when another customer was complaining about a long ship date and called in to give her an earful. I have to respect a guy who sticks up for his family and handles issues with grace and maturity. That is the type of person I like to do business with.

Hey, I did not give her an earful. I simply asked about it she explained and I thanked her. My post was embellished a bit too much on my part. Although Mark did say that others had called and given her a hard time and that he would not stand for it. I too have a great deal of respect for Mark and his company. I'm still patiently waiting for my holster and belt and the anticipation is difficult but from what I've read it will be more than worth it.

Did you order a belt also? If not you may get your holster fairly quick. The belts take a little longer. I also ordered the horsehide and the combat cut.

Congrats in advance on your holster purchase. Let us know how it works for you.
